+## Welcome to the IPFS Weekly. 👋
+
+The [InterPlanetary File System (IPFS)](https://ipfs.io/) is a new hypermedia distribution protocol, addressed by content and identity. IPFS enables the creation of completely distributed applications. It aims to make the web faster, safer, and more open. Since that’s a pretty large scope, we track development across the ecosystem in this weekly dispatch.

+Last week, during the [IPFS All Hands](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1tUzgThZK0) meeting, viewers were treated to an introduction to establishing identities on IPFS by [David Dahl](https://keybase.io/ddahl).
